Qin Shaoyou raised his head and saw a full blood moon in the night sky.
Such a red and round moon reminded Qin Shaoyou of the time when the demons of the Black Lotus Sect worshiped the moon and cooked monk Daoming. The blood moon in the night sky was as round and blood-red as it is today.
Is it really the Black Lotus that is behind this?
Did they interfere with the salvation of the ritual and use the chaotic energy in the blood moon to urge the dead corpses, dead souls and carrion-eating animals on the battlefield to transform into demons?
No wonder Qin Shaoyou has such suspicions, because the demons of the Black Lotus Sect have actually done similar things.
And it was very serious.
Just a few years ago, a turmoil broke out in Nanzhao.
The local chieftain was dissatisfied with the court's excessive taxes and was instigated by a demon from the Black Lotus Sect to kill the tax collector. The demon from the Black Lotus Sect immediately reported to the local government that the chieftain was going to rebel, thus provoking an outbreak of civil strife.
During this process, the demons of the Black Lotus Sect took the opportunity to refine corpses into puppets, and drove the corpse puppets to burn and kill them everywhere, making the corpse puppet army continue to grow in size like a snowball.
In its heyday, the Black Lotus Sect even relied on corpse puppets to capture several counties and prefectures, killing all the living creatures there.
Seriously, even the yellow eggs were shaken off!
This also caused those county towns and prefectural cities to completely lose their vitality and popularity, and became dead cities and ghost lands. Even after the imperial court immigrated there, they lost their former popularity.
Finally, the elite of the Demon Suppression Department came out. The imperial court mobilized several elite border troops and sent all the 120 new scholars in that year. Only then did they suppress the zombie rebellion!
The demons of the Black Lotus Sect who revolted were all sentenced to death penalty, not only their bodies but also their souls!
As for the army of corpse puppets they had trained, they dug pits and burned them.
It is said that long after that, the air in the area where the corpses were burned was still filled with a suffocating stench, making people afraid to approach.
The elite of the Demon Suppression Department and the frontier troops who participated in suppressing the Corpse Puppet Rebellion suffered numerous casualties. The one hundred and twenty new scholars also lost most of their lives, and in the end only about forty of them returned to the capital alive.
After all, although the one hundred and twenty new scholars have cultivated Confucianism, not many of them have seen fighting or been on the battlefield.
Even many Jinshi, when they first arrived in Nanzhao, saw tens of thousands of corpses pouring in like a tide, they were frightened on the spot, and even if they had the strength, they could not show it. In the end, they either died.
On the battlefield, he either fell seriously ill after coming down and died.
"Could it be that the people of the Black Lotus Sect want to recreate the tragedy that happened in Nanzhao a few years ago here in Qingtangwei?"
When Qin Shaoyou thought of this, his face darkened and his eyes became solemn.
It was at this moment that he discovered that something was not right about the blood moon light shrouding the zombies, wolf monsters, and dog monsters.
With a thought in his mind, Qin Shaoyou immediately activated the effect of [Bright Eyes] to the maximum, and then he saw that the light of the blood moon was not simply covering these evil monsters, but was like strips of bloody leeches, moving towards them.
drilled inside their bodies.
This situation is enough to show that the birth of these evil monsters is really related to the chaotic power in the blood moon.
Qin Shaoyou suddenly had an idea: "If I also attract the power of the blood moon, can I use it to find out the identity and location of the person who gave birth to the evil monster?"
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou no longer hesitated, and immediately activated [Swallowing Moon] to attract the light of the blood moon, and used [Listening] to distinguish and search.
The power of Blood Moon is, as always, filled with all kinds of chaotic and noisy sounds, enough to make a person's head explode.
No matter how high your mental resistance is and how determined your mind is, if you listen to these chaotic and weird sounds too many times, your practice will be disordered and you will even go crazy.
However, Qin Shaoyou ate the spiritual food and was not afraid of the chaotic and noisy sounds in the blood moon.
At the same time, with the help of [Listening], he quickly heard several more orderly sounds from these chaotic and noisy sounds.
It’s the sound of chanting sutras!
Moreover, this melody and this content made Qin Shaoyou feel very familiar.
After thinking for a moment, he remembered that this was exactly the scripture that the demons of the Black Lotus Sect recited when they worshiped the moon and cooked the Daoming monk.
It seems that tonight's big drama is really caused by the demons of the Black Lotus Sect!
Even the war between Qingtang and Daxia may be the work of the Black Lotus Sect.
Because the Black Lotus Cult practices killing people, the more people die, the higher their 'merits' will be.
And when you reach the level of "see you tomorrow" monk, if you want to take another step forward, the number of creatures you need to kill will be even greater.
At this time, ordinary means are obviously not enough.
Only plagues and wars can end a large number of lives in a short period of time and generate huge resentment, hatred and despair.
And these, in the eyes of the demons of the Black Lotus Sect, are all 'merits', and they are the energy to improve their practice!
Here in Qingtangwei, both Rikander and Dongchuanhou are chess pieces.
The mysterious 'see you tomorrow' monk is the one holding the chess piece.
That’s why Monk ‘See You Tomorrow’ and the Black Lotus were very dissatisfied when Rikander and Marquis Dongchuan were fighting a tacit understanding.
Because at that time, although there were casualties on both sides, the number was not large, and they were just shouting loudly.
This is obviously not the result that the 'see you tomorrow' monk and the Black Lotus Sect want.
So they used various means to break the tacit understanding between Rikander and Dongchuan Hou, and let the two sides fight with real guns and swords!
The final result was that Dongchuan Hou killed tens of thousands of Qingtang Guards elites in one fell swoop. If not for the timely arrival of Qi Longfei, Yu Huyue and others, and the brave fighting of Wei Tu, Baiqingjiang Shuibo, Qin Shaoyou and others, plus a little
With some luck, Qingtang Acropolis might be breached.
In this war, both Dongchuanhou and Rikander were losers, and the real winners were Monk ‘See You Tomorrow’ and the Black Lotus.
They simply won!
However, looking at the current situation where evil spirits are growing, the reason Monk "See You Tomorrow" and the demons of the Black Lotus Sect started a war is not just to gain "merits" and improve their strength, but also has other plans.
Even if the Qingtang Guards are not allowed to reappear in Nanzhao's past, it will only be worse than that. Therefore, we must stop this chaos before it is born!
Qin Shaoyou knew very well that it was unrealistic to stop this chaos with just his team.
Fortunately, Qi Longfei and Yu Huyue were at Qingtang Acropolis. After they broke through the siege, they asked Qin Qiaoer to send a message to them and let them respond.
Of course, people like me can't be idle either.
After breaking through, we have to find a way to find the mastermind behind today's drama. Even if we can't kill them, we still have to ruin their good deeds.
But, how to find these people?
Qin Shaoyou's eyes once again fell on the blood moon in the night sky.
